I've mostly been keeping tabs on Trumpty-Dumpty's trial in Manhattan via the fabulous Helen ( @tener_duende ), but this morning watched Laurence O'Donnell's recap of yesterday in the courtroom. It was worth the 21 minutes for the "orange turd" remarks alone! 😆

Lawrence: Why Trump's lawyer called him the 'orange turd' during Stormy testimony
MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell explains how Donald Trump’s lawyer Susan Necheles attempted to mischaracterize Stormy Daniels’ description of Donald Trump as the “orange turd” and how Stormy Daniels saw through this line of questioning.

Ah, I love waking up early, checking in here, and not seeing Velveeta Voldemort's name in the cloud! It's refreshing! 🌞

Joe Biden Is Not The Lesser of Two Evils. He’s the Far Better Human.
The lesser of two evils. I hear people using this phrase again right now and I hate it. I heard it four years ago and it was a lie then, too. The choice was stark and clear in 2020. It is now. Joe Biden’s opponent is evil. His body of work, as they say,

If this goes the way it suppose to, then I’m afraid the feds may have to come and assist with the complete move and removal of the Klan that are holding those positions.
Alabama please come correct 👏🏽

If Trump wins next November, the far-right nightmare of Project 2025 will become a reality for millions of us Americans.

For those of you who are not familiar with Duke History Professor Nancy MacLean, you owe it to yourself to become familiar with her and her must read book, "Democracy In Chains." I've included an hour long lecture she did at Harvard regarding this incredibly important research. Please watch https:

OMG. This is my 100th spout! 🐳 I feel like I should say a few words in honor of this moment. Ahem. Thanks to Elmo for kicking me off Twitter & to @cbouzy for giving me such a great place to land. Thanks to my fellow Spouties for welcoming me & for your wisdom and humor. I feel lucky to be here. 💗

OMG, coming onto Spoutible this a.m. and not seeing Velveeta Voldemort's name in the cloud is the best!!! I long for a day when we never hear his name again, except when discussing the history of this nation and his heinous reign as a king wannabe, his attempted Insurrection & how he died in prison.

Sending out some #postcardstovoters today, and I think I got a new callus for it! 😆 If anyone wants to help, please check out the web site. It's a great way to feel like you're doing something positive and maybe reaching some voters who just need a nudge!

Hmm. Not gonna say this is fishy because it's the second Boeing employee to die suddenly after blowing the whistle. But it's definitely not un-fishy.

NPR is at it again! This a.m., they moaned about Biden not addressing student protests sooner. "Biden finally speaks," they said. "Is he leading? Or was he pushed?" They then squawked about Trumpty-Dumpty commenting on the protests "many times" and "praising the NYC police." Excuse me while I vomit.

Trumpty-Dumpty sat on a chair
all pouty face & ferret hair.
He can hardly stay awake
to listen as his lawyers make
lame excuses for his crimes
committed lots & lots of times.
I wonder, as he has a nap,
does he dream of Vanky on his lap?
Or maybe of his jail attire:
a jumpsuit that's as orange as 🔥.

Thinking the Muskrat has as much real business acumen as Trumpty-Dumpty. And I had no idea Rupert Murdoch's son James was on the Tesla board. Just adds to the yuck factor.

So, in Pecker's testimony, he mentioned that the National Enquirer ran a poll on whether Trump should run in 2016 & 80% of readers said yes 'cause National Enquirer readers = Trump's base. Makes total sense that his sheep are folks who liked reading about aliens having babies with celebrities. 😝

My 11 y/o sixth grader had her first real experience with mean girls this quarter in an elective class. I emailed the teacher to ask if my kiddo could be moved to another table. I was ecstatic when the teacher said she understood and would make sure kiddo gets moved tomorrow. So thankful!

In response to C Varnam.
They are super comfortable! Beanie has been such a lovey since he came in October. His brothers took more time, but they're getting much more friendly and lovey, too. We feel lucky they found us! And I'm so relieved I could take the time to get them inside & to the vet. It was worth it!

In response to Susan McBride.
A loving home for them, you were patient and determined and they look comfortable and lounging now.

Happy #caturday ! Here's a recent pic of the three stray brothers who were living under our front porch. Beanie (the one on the right) came in last October. I finally got his bros, Tuxie and Cutie, the day after Thanksgiving. They are such loveys! Still can't believe we have 5 cats in all!
